31 January 2023. Partner With My Angels
“My Angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. Partner with My Angels and ask Me to send them to help you.
Open your eyes to the unseen realm and see the Angels. They are all around you waiting to be activated. They are those who not only minister to you, but who are also there to bring healing, awakening, and destruction into cities, regions and over territories where the enemy has built his strongholds.
My Angels are real, and will become more real this year. There will be a great move of My Spirit and the work of My Angels is essential in this hour.”
Activation : Close your eyes and ask Jesus to show you the angels. Where are they? Where is your personal angel? Where are the angels in your city? What does God want to do through them? Ask him how you can partner with them.
Hebrews 1:14 (NIV) “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”
Psalm 34:7 (TPT) “The angel of the Lord stooped down to listen as I prayed, encircling me, empowering me, and showing me how to escape. He will do this for everyone who fears God.”
Exodus 23:20 (NIV) “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.”
30 January, 2023. Let’s Grow
“My beloved children, recognise where you have been conditioned and minimised by the world in your role, your job, and your current circumstances. You have looked for and relied on approval and affirmation from others. You have sought guidance, plans for your future from Christians online, even living your life vicariously through leaders whom you admire. As a result, you can at times lack confidence, hope, and expectation in me because you are not looking directly at Me, but at others.
Draw yourself aside; take off striving, hear me, and know the value I place on you. Allow me to be your God, your lover, and your joy for I AM perfect kindness. There is an understandable emphasis on planning, strategy, growth and change in My Church, yet this is my plan for all of you. Allow Me to take you from where you are now, with no resistance, and grow you up into Christ.”
Prayer:
LORD, take my life again, show me your wisdom, and give me courage to stop a while with you so that I hear you speaking clearly. Where I need to be a grown-up Christian and still like being a baby, fed by others, show me, for I choose to grow with you into maturity. I love and trust you LORD. Amen.
Hebrews 12: 2-3 (NIV) “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
Ephesians 4:14-16 (MSG) “No prolonged infancies among us, please. We’ll not tolerate babes in the woods, small children who are an easy mark for impostors. God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love-like Christ in everything. We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do. He keeps us in step with each other. His very breath and blood flow through us, nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God, robust in love.”
1 Corinthians 14:20 (ESV) “Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking, be mature.”
27 January 2023. Fallow Ground
“For everything, there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.
This season I want to talk to you about matters of the heart.
I want to go over old ground. Ground that has been left to rest for it was not the right season to start digging for, the ground was too hard, so I left it to fallow.
Now, you are ready for Me to dig.
Let Me dig out all the sorrowful disappointments of the past seasons, because you have chosen to rest the soil of your heart in My capable Hands. I will make you fertile again with seeds of Joy, giving you beauty for ashes.
I will regenerate the soil of your heart making it fertile once again with the plans and purposes I have for you.”
Activation : Ask The LORD to remove any seeds that have been planted within you which are not meant to be there. As he plucks out these seeds, ask for a fresh in-filling of more of him to fill these spaces.
Hosea 10:12 (NIV) “Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek The LORD, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.”
Jeremiah 4:3 (NIV) “. . . Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns.”
26 January 2023. Ruth
“This is a season where The LORD’s abundant blessings and provision are readily available. Will you glean from his field?
Our Father says to you today: humble yourself, go out into the field of your life and reap what has been left behind for you to find. I keep watch over you and have determined that now is the time when those who are like Ruth will be given more – much more.
I AM the One who has created it all. Everything is mine and I AM a generous Father. Ask and you shall receive. Ask and it will be given to you. Do not ask amiss or selfishly but ask Me for those things that are in line with the desires I have placed and planted in your heart. There is nothing I would not do for you when your plans are in alignment with mine; when you want what I want. I AM waiting for you to ask for and to voice the seemingly outrageously large request and desire I have placed in your heart.”
Activation : You have not because you ask not. Ask to be abundantly blessed by your Father in heaven today. Ask Him to expand your capacity to receive the blessings, understanding, and promotions stored up in heaven for you.
Matthew 7:7-12 (NKJV) “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”
Ruth 2:15-17 (NKJV) “And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her. Also let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.” So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.”
James 4:2-3 (NKJV) “You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”
25 January 2023. True Leadership
“The season to come will be marked by leaders who have the desire and humility to build together. They will supernaturally work together in the natural and in the spiritual realms.
As you discover who I have created you to be and you mature in Me, I will bring you together with those you can work with. I in you and you in Me; I in them and them in Me. Each one submitted to me and then to one another, all giving me and each other their best. Challenging each other without insecurity or fear of rejection; clinging to each other, in vulnerable, humble abandon. True leadership will come out of supernatural, humble vulnerability.
This leadership will be marked by those who share the weight and responsibilities involved, with every part doing its share. Their gifts being fully employed in me and everyone joyfully giving their best.”
Activation : Spend time today with Holy Spirit talking about what true leadership looks like in the kingdom. Ask Holy Spirit to show you biblical examples to dwell upon.
Ephesians 4:2-5 (NKJV) “I, therefore, the prisoner of The LORD, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
Ephesians 4:15-16 (NKJV) “. . . but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head — Christ — from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
24 January 2023. Stronger Together
“In times of challenge and struggle, there is immense value in having people beside you. People who will champion you; people who will call you higher. People who can be trusted to encourage and spur you on.
I created My People for community.
I will be faithful to place you within divine relationships. Relationships which will bring you comfort and joy, understanding and good counsel.
I love it when My Children join together!
I love to see My Church communing together as one.
I would see My Children knitted together, held fast by their love for one another.”
Activation : Take a moment to think about the people in your life who you spend the most time with. Think about how they contribute to your quality of life. Thank God for the people of faith that he has placed in your life.
If you feel that you are lacking in this area, ask God for a divine appointment and an open heart to receive new people into your life.
Next, ask The Holy Spirit to highlight someone in your life. Maybe someone in your church you don’t know well or a neighbour. Ask Holy Spirit to show you how you can connect with them and bless them this week.
Psalm 68:5-6 (NLT) “Father to the fatherless, defender of widows — this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.”
Psalm 133:1 (NIV) “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”
Romans 12:10 (NIV) “Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.”
23 January 2023. All Encompassing
“I AM all encompassing.
Last year for many was a shocking disassembly of lives.
I see you!
Last year for many was the worst pain some have ever experienced.
I feel you!
Last year for many was full of uncertainty in where to go next.
I Lead you!
In all of this I have been working.
I have been with you.
I have been reshuffling your values so you could come closer to Me. I AM a jealous God and I want all of you. I see everything all of the time. I do not miss a beat and I haven’t missed anything that pained you.
You will see this year how it was all for your good and my glory.
I AM the beginning and the end. My faithfulness all year is a testament to my faithfulness for what is to come. Do not lose faith or hope for the future.
I AM behind you, with you, and in front of you. I was, I AM, and I AM still to come.”
Revelation 1:8 (NLT) “”I AM the Alpha and the Omega — the Beginning and the End,” says The LORD God. “I AM the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come — the Almighty One.””
Psalm 139:5 (NLT) “You go before me and follow me. You place your Hand of blessing on my head.”
20 January 2023. Feed the Fire
You’re invited to the fire of God. But come covered in the oil of His presence, for oil is what feeds the fire.
Sit with God and learn His Names.
Feast with Holy Spirit at the table He has prepared for you, even in the midst of your enemies. Praise the Holy Name of Jesus, declaring it boldly over your life. Host His presence and dwell daily with Him. For it is in intimacy with God that the precious oil of His Presence is poured out over you. And that oil is what you need to feed God’s enduring fire in you.
Activation : Today, dwell in the words of Psalm 23. Let the words wash you and fill you with fresh oil.
Psalm 23:5 (NIV) “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”
19 January 2023. Warrior
The way of the warrior is not always easy. The path the warrior walks can be complicated and narrow. Yet, the reward for our obedience is great!
Our glorious Father would remind you today: “Shake off the dust and arise My precious Warriors! I have fresh assignments for my people but who is available? This is the time to rise up, to embrace the mantle I have placed upon your shoulders, and to run with precision towards the target I have set before you.
You were made for such a time as this so embrace the posture of a warrior and allow me to raise you up, positioning you strategically.”
Activation : Declare over yourself today: I am a warrior!
Say this aloud as many times as necessary until you feel it settle in your spirit.
Next, read through Zechariah 10:5-12 (below). Ask The Holy Spirit to speak to you through these verses, revealing what he is doing in and through you right now.
They will be like mighty warriors in battle, trampling their enemies in the mud under their feet. Since The LORD is with them as they fight, they will overthrow even the enemy’s horsemen.
Zechariah 10:5-12 (NLT) “I will strengthen Judah and save Israel; I will restore them because of <y Compassion. It will be as though I had never rejected them, for I AM The LORD their God, who will hear their cries. The people of Israel will become like mighty warriors, and their hearts will be made happy as if by wine. Their children, too, will see it and be glad; their hearts will rejoice in The LORD.
When I whistle to them, they will come running, for I have redeemed them. From the few who are left, they will grow as numerous as they were before.
Though I have scattered them like seeds among the nations, they will still remember me in distant lands. They and their children will survive and return again to Israel.
I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will resettle them in Gilead and Lebanon until there is no more room for them all.
They will pass safely through the sea of distress, for the waves of the sea will be held back, and the waters of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be crushed, and the rule of Egypt will end.
By My Power I will make my people strong, and by my authority they will go wherever they wish. I, The LORD, have spoken!”
18 January 2023. Unlocked
“Have I not given you the keys to the Kingdom to unlock you and your destiny?
Many of you have been locked in fears and past traditions, stopping the advancement of my kingdom. I am unlocking you so you can go and set others free.
Have I not come to set the captives free?
One of the keys is My authority. Receive this key for I have given it to you. Know that you have authority to cast out demons in my name for I have given you this key of freedom for others . The world needs you for the days are dark and many are overcome with fear. Step into your authority and cast out the oppressor! Open the way for others to come into My Kingdom and know Me.”
Activation : First, ask God to show you anywhere where you have given up responsibility and partnered with any fear or oppression. Break any agreement with it and ask God to set you free. Then, visualize yourself receiving the key of authority from Jesus. Feel its shape, its size and see its colour. Thank God for the authority he has given you and say out loud: I stand in the authority of Jesus to set the captives free, heal the broken hearted and the sick in Jesus name!
Matthew 16:19 (ESV) “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you lose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 10:1 (MSG) “Jesus called twelve of his followers and sent them into the ripe fields. He gave them power to kick out the evil spirits and to tenderly care for the bruised and hurt lives.”
Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.””
17 January 2023. Restore the Foundations
The last few years have been filled with many challenges. There have been many low points and false starts. The Spirit of The LORD would remind you today:
“The weight of my yoke is easy!
The heaviness of this past season has settled on many people’s shoulders.
Lies.
Disappointment.
False Responsibility.
As this weight rested on you, your foundations began to crack.
You questioned My Goodness and My Faithfulness. In some cases, you set aside My Plans and purposes for your life, choosing to go your own way — the way of least resistance.
I do not hold this against you!
I understand where you find yourself today.
But I AM here today to pull this weight off your shoulders and restore the foundations of your faith.”
Activation : Ask The Holy Spirit if there are any weights you are carrying that you need to let go of. Ask Him if there are any cracks that need to be restored.
As The Holy Spirit shows you these things, ask Him to lead you through a time of deliverance. Repent and break partnership with carrying weight that is not yours to carry. Ask for The Holy Spirit to fill those places a fresh with more of Him. Declare abundant life over yourself.
Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG) “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me — watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
John 16:33 (NKJV) “. . . in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Matthew 17:20-21 (NIV) “. . . Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
16 January 2023. Troubles
One thing that is common to all humanity is that somewhere along the way we will encounter troubles. Troubles come and troubles will go; it seems to be the cycle of life. As individuals, we often have a choice on how to navigate them and what the outcomes will be. We can respond out of the flesh and get angry, resentful, and offended which could lead to the outcomes of bitterness, sickness, and hopelessness. Yes, we have all been there and made choices that we can learn from.
Today, consider your response to the troubles of now and the past. If they are somewhat lacking and producing problematic fruit, ask The Holy Spirit to show you where you need to shift your perspective towards things like forgiveness, humility, and hopefulness.
Now, pray this prayer: Father, would you help me make wise choices when troubles come my way and forgive me for holding wrong attitudes and behaviours. Forgive me for holding onto hurts and for being bitter. Help me to lay these things at your feet and to receive your forgiveness. Help me in the future to remember this moment when I face another challenge and put into practice what you show me. Amen
1 Peter 4:12-13 (NKJV) “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial, which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.”
James 1:2-5 (NKJV) “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
1 John 1:9 (NKJV) “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
15 January, 2023. Satisfied
“My beloved children: I know that sometimes you look at your life and feel dissatisfied. Y ou look at others standing on your right and your left and think to yourself, “How I wish my life looked like that!”
I would remind you today, don’t fixate on the journey of others. Fix your gaze on Me.
While others might seem like they are ahead of you, I would remind you that you all must walk before you run. What truly matters is our relationship with each other. Before you can jump into the bigger and brighter, you must first learn what it is to be truly satisfied by Me. It is what you experience in The Secret Place with Me that sets you up to run with wild abandon.
What you do in this life may never look flashy. You must be satisfied knowing that I see you. I Love you. I validate you.
When you learn to satisfy yourself in me, you begin to see yourself for who you really are. You see yourself how I see you. Nothing you achieve in this world will satisfy you the way it does to spend time with Me, seated at My Feet. It is there, at My Feet, in a posture of abandoned adoration, that all you need to live a life of satisfaction is found.”
Activation : Take a moment to search your heart, asking yourself, “do I find satisfaction in The LORD?” “Is my heart satisfied in you, Father?” Ask Holy Spirit to lead you through this process and shine a light on areas where you are not feeling satisfied. Process these areas with Holy Spirit, asking him to lead you into a place of deeper satisfaction.
Luke 10:38-39, 41-42 (TPT) “As Jesus and the disciples continued on their journey, they came to a village where a woman welcomed Jesus into her home. Her name was Martha and she had a sister name Mary. Mary sat down attentively before the Master, absorbing every revelation he shared . . . The LORD answered her, “Martha, my beloved Martha. Why are you upset and troubled, pulled away by all these many distractions? Mary has discovered the one thing most important by choosing to sit at my feet. She is undistracted, and I won’t take this privilege from her.””
Isaiah 58:11 (NIV) “The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”
Psalm 27:4 (NIV) “One thing I ask from The LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of The LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of The LORD and to seek him in his temple.”
12 January, 2023. All New
“On Over these past months, with My winnowing fork in hand, I separated the wheat and the chaff to prepare you for the new. I shook your heart to the core to bring what was hidden deep down to the surface. Your character has been developed and formed; now, you are ready to come out of the darkroom. I have enhanced, upgraded, and set a high standard while you were in the darkroom with Me.
When opportunities come your way, ask for my wisdom and discernment before you accept. Not every door that opens is from Me. When the right opportunity comes, don’t forget the lessons that you have learned. The lessons that I have taught you are the stepping stones of your life.”
Activation : Look up the Hebrew meaning of, “If” and explore this with The Holy Spirit. Ask him what he thinks, “If anyone is in Christ” means to Him.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
Revelation 21:5-6 (NASB) “And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give water to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life, without cost.””
Isaiah 51:1 (ESV) “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek The LORD: look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug.”
11 January, 2023. I Need Your Yes
“I know how difficult and tough this past season has been for many of you.
I have seen your struggles and fights.
I know the hardships you have been through.
Well done My Beloved Ones!
What I need now from you to move forward is your YES.
I need your Yes to step out again, to go again, and try again.
I know how hard it is, because I see that many of you have stepped back and have isolated yourselves. Both for self protection and because you could not see any other possibility to survive the pain and trauma.
Today, I want you to know that I AM for you, and if you step out again, I will bless you in ways you have never experienced before. But for that I require your participation and your yes.
Trust me, and take a step into deeper waters. I won’t let you drown.”
Activation : Ask The LORD where He wants you to step out again and in which areas He requires a Yes from you. Pray into that and let Him heal you from past wounds. If you are ready, give Him your Yes and make a decision to step out again.
Luke 5:4-6 (NIV) “When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,”Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered,”Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.”

10 January , 2023. Come into the Ark
“I commanded Noah to build an Ark, and he entered the Ark under the sound of My Voice.
I AM calling each one of you to be Kingdom Builders with Me. When you come up higher where I AM, then you become a Kingdom Builder with Me.
I invite you to come into the Ark; the Ark of My heart, the Ark of My Chest.
Have you lost your appetite for Me? Your hunger? Chasing the things of the world instead? Now, I AM regaining the forgotten and lost territory of your heart to Me. In this place you will know Me and My Kingdom.
I AM intensifying My Standards for My People. The invitation is open — are you coming?”
Genesis 7:1 (AMP) “Then The LORD said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you with all your household, for you [alone] I have seen as righteous (doing what is right) before Me in this generation.”
Psalm 33:18-19 (MSG) “Watch this: God’s eye is on those who respect Him, the ones who are looking for His love. He’s ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times He keeps body and soul together.”
Deuteronomy 5:33 (NKJV) “You shall walk in all the ways which The LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.”
9 January, 2023. Come Up Here
“Come up here, My Child.
Not only outside of yourself; into my hand, for safety or escape.
Not only outside of your circumstances; onto My Wings, for perspective and strategy.
Come up here, where you are seated in the heavenly places with Me. Sit here in this place of peace, surrounded by My Glory, and rest awhile.
Come up here, and know what it means to be free of worry and anxiety. See what I see from The Throne. From where we are seated, we can see it all: the stars, the earth, the past, and the future.
Come and see how I AM working it all according to My Plan. See how marvellously intricate My Wisdom is. Rest in My Sovereignty. Ask Me for My Strategies. And trust that you are in My Hand, seated with Me, “up here,” even when you’re “down there!””
Activation : Breathe in and let The Holy Spirit show you a picture of what He sees from His perspective. Remind yourself that you are seated with Him.
Ephesians 2:6-7 (NIV) “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
Revelation 4:1-2 (NIV) “. . . and the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.”
Habakkuk 2:20 (NIV) “But The LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.”
6 January, 2023 Engraved
“Close your hands into a fist loosely in front of you. Next, take a deep breath in and then slowly let it out.
Now, look at your closed fists in front of you and imagine that your own hands are in fact mine — the King of Kings and LORD of Lords. Just look at them and then slowly open up your fists so that your palms are facing you. Take a moment and imagine that your own name is engraved in bold type, right there on those palms. How does this make you feel?
Now, what if I told you I have, in fact, engraved your name into the palm of My Hands. That I will not forget you. You will not be, nor have you ever been forgotten — you are engraved into the palms of My Hands.”
Isaiah 49:15b-16 (NIV) “I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands…”
5 January, 2023. Comfort
“I AM a warrior, but I AM also your gentle Father. I know when to rule with strength and when to tenderly lead.
Do not mistake my righteous arm as a branch to beat the lambs with. Be gentle and tender with those who follow Me — including yourself. The enemy comes in like a lion, looking for who he can devour, but I AM Meek and Lowly. My Yoke is easy and My Burden is light.
Be wise, and know the compassion in my voice towards My Flock. Do not mistake the harsh voice of the enemy as My Voice.
I speak Life.
I speak Hope.
I speak Conviction, not Condemnation.
I speak Comfort and Joy to My Flock, even as I stand as a mighty Warrior guarding over them!”
Activation : Read the words of this scripture aloud and know The LORD’s compassion for you and those around you. Ask for a discerning heart to know the difference between conviction and condemnation.
Isaiah 40:1-2 (NASB) “Comfort, O comfort My people, says your God. Speak kindly to Jerusalem . . .”
Isaiah 40:10-11 (NASB) “Behold, The LORD God will come with might, with His arm ruling for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him and His recompense before Him. Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, in His arm He will gather the lambs and carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes.”
4 January 2023. The One
“How many times have you talked about how I AM The Good Shepherd Who will leave the ninety-nine to go after the one? Oh, how you love Me and thanked me for coming after you. Yet, some of you have forgotten that you were that one. You have stopped praying for people to come to know Me, and have instead started to beg Me to come back, today. Even complaining, when is soon, LORD?
I wanted to remind you that I AM not delayed or late in coming. I AM coming back — that is a promise — but I AM patiently waiting for the one, just like I waited for you!
As it says in 2 Peter 3:15 (NLT): And remember, our LORD’s Patience gives people time to be saved…”
Activation : Rejoice each day that I have not returned for that means there is at least one more soul to be saved. And look for those around you that don’t know me. Share with them who I am.
And Pray that the lost would be found.
Psalm 99:1-5 (ESV) “The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake! The LORD is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples. Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he! The King in his might loves justice.
You have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt The LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is He!”.
3 January 2023. Remember
Take a moment today to pause and reflect on the life you have lived with our loving heavenly Father.
Ask The Holy Spirit to remind you of days gone by where The LORD moved and shifted things for you; where He handed you the victory; where He restored what you thought was lost.
The LORD says to you today: “Remember who it is that you belong to! Am I not the God of restoration? The Father who can be trusted to lead you to green pastures? As you step into this new year, remember who I AM!
I have gone before you to make your path straight.
I know the provision you need.
I know the breakthrough you need.
I AM a good and faithful Father whose love for you stretches beyond human comprehension. Choose to trust me today and let your faith arise!”
Activation : Spend some time praising The LORD for all he is. As you praise him, ask for a deeper revelation of his character so that you may transition into this new year seeing him rightly.
Deuteronomy 30:3-5 (ESV) “. . . then The LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where The LORD your God has scattered you. If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there The LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. And The LORD your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers.”
Psalm 100 (ESV) “Make a joyful noise to The LORD, all the earth! Serve The LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that The LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His Name! For The LORD is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”
2 January 2023. Brilliance
“Like a perfectly cut diamond, you shine with My Brilliance!
Do you realise that you carry My Light? That as I dwell within you, you are filled with My Light. This light cascades through you like the sun, brilliant and warm.
Shine that light forth!
Shine that light into the darkness. It is the light of Purity, Revelation and Truth, because it comes from Me, Christ Jesus. Just like the sun’s rays bring life to the plants and trees, My Light brings life and clarity.
I desire you to be a Light in the dark places — to share My Light with those who feel that all the lights have gone out. When you shine brightly for Me, you point people back to Me. The Light you carry has power! Don’t hide this Light away for you do not need to fear carrying this Light.
Embrace the brilliance — embrace the Light within you, and shine brilliantly for Me!”
Activation : Look into The Spirit and ask Jesus to show you how brightly you shine. Take a moment to reflect on what it means to shine for Jesus. Spend time talking to Jesus about how you can use this light to point others to Him.
Luke 1:78-79 (TPT) “The splendour-light of heaven’s glorious sunrise is about to break upon us in holy visitation, all because the merciful heart of our God is so very tender. The word from heaven will come to us with dazzling light to shine upon those who live in darkness, near death’s dark shadow. And he will illuminate the path that leads to the way of peace.”
John 1:4-5 (NIV) “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
Psalm 27:1 (NKJV) “The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?”
